2 MILLION URGED TO EVACUATE

As the images in the Twitter moment above clearly show, the flash floods in Japan have been very destructive. Flood waters have led to landslides, with homes washing away or being torn apart, streets flooded, civilians fleeing, or trapped. With more than 100 confirmed dead, and more casualties expected, and millions evacuated, the scene is one of desperation, and devastation. The intensity of the flooding is illustrated even better in video, and youtube is awash in them.
